Technical Behavioral
The recruiter reached out and invited me to see the company. Had a great talk with senior management team so decided to come back for on-site interview. The interview took a full day with 4 or 5 rounds. The interview was both technical and cultural fit with a lunch with a few employees in between.

Had two tech phone screenings. First one was about my work history. Second one had me create an integer array comparison method in Java online to find duplicates. Then in person, I had to create a singleton and write Junit tests for a string reverse function.

Coding Behavioral
I had a terrible time with this interview process, felt like a complete waste of time. After three onsite interviews where they asked pretty basic questions, I got an email the next day saying I didn't get the offer. The recruiter said it was because they didn't think I'd be a team player, which makes no sense because we never even discussed collaboration. The only thing I can think of is that I used a laptop for the coding question instead of a whiteboard, which would be a ridiculous reason to reject someone.
